It's racist how you grounded flights and locked the door
When China is half a world away
They just can't seem to find the cure I'm looking for
For a cold I caught on a Wuhan stay

I can't remember when I felt this sick before
It's almost more than I can bear
And though it seems a half a million miles from you
Its on its way and will so soon be there

And the masks that we wear when we walk on the street
Are the same ol' ones that you will buy
And your nose and your ears will soon begin to bleed
Like the diseases here in old Shanghai

There are Doctors who talked who said its only the start
And now they seem to all be gone
There are Doctors who lie cause they're told what to say
As officials stay locked in their home

Oh, I couldn't leave here even if I wanted to
Soldiers keep me quarantined here.
And especially since I tried to sneak out a time or two
I just can't seem to get anywhere

And the masks that we wear when we walk on the street
Are the same ol' ones that you will buy
And your nose and your ears will soon begin to bleed
Like the diseases here in old Shanghai


Shanghai diseases, keep me fearing, I'll soon be laid rest
Shanghai diseases, cough and sniffle, reminds me I am so helpless

And the masks that we wear when we walk on the street
Are the same ol' ones that you will buy
And your nose and your ears will soon begin to bleed
Like the diseases here in old Shanghai

And the masks that we wear when we walk on the streets
Are the same ol' ones that you will buy
And your nose and your ears will soon begin to bleed
Like the diseases here in old Shanghai

Just like the diseases here in old Shanghai
